Katie Paterson describes her the project as:
“Sound recordings from three glaciers in Iceland, pressed into three records, cast, and frozen with the meltwater from each of these glaciers, and played on three turntables until they completely melt.

The records were played once and now exist as three dvds. The turntables begin playing together, and for the first ten minutes as the needles trace their way around, the sounds from each glacier merge in and out with the sounds the ice itself creates. The needle catches on the last loop, and the records play for nearly two hours, until completely melted.”

This is RCA student Min-Kyu-Choi’s amazing take on the design of the humble household plug. An often overlooked design element in most, if not all, products. It’s a space-saving, modern & elegant evolution to an often unsightly yet necessary part of modern life. This could improve the spaghetti junction under desks and on top of kitchen tops no end.

This really is amazing, how can a company get their marketing soo wrong. If I was in shop where all the staff started randomly dancing I would leave, simple. What if an employee had managed to get a computer not to crash just long enough to wrench a credit card out of a poor unsuspecting member of the public’s hands, then had to break into song and dance, sale lost. And all those people dancing with them, none of them will be buying a computer for themselves in the next five years. “There are other people dancing who have bought stuff they have bags and everything, and look like there loving it!” you say, well there’s always one.

Even watching this makes me want to curl into a ball and rock with embarrassment on behalf of those poor employees. Imagine the staff meeting “High five team! Today we going to learn the Microsoft dance! Your going to do it every time I clap my hands” “what?” “Yeah it’ll be fun! Just copy what I do”

I reckon Bill Gates secretly wanted to be on Broadway and this is his revenge for never getting there.

An exhibition of photographs depicting landscapes as they would have been seen through the eyes of nine famous people in the moment before their deaths. Sadly we missed this one. Read the review here. The exhibition was at the The Wapping Project.

This guy has been appearing a lot this week, but not in my dreams yet. I believe there is an Italian agency behind it, perhaps it’s a hoax and just an example of how viral campaigns work, or maybe its for real?
